Explore the rich history of Nauvoo

Nauvoo, Illinois has an interesting history. It was originally settled by Native Americans. Joseph Smith and early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints arrived later on, and they stayed there for several years before leaving due to religious persecution in 1846. Their homes were preserved by German-speaking settlers who came after them. Come to Nauvoo to see historical sites like:
